Fine Threading for Scale Models

The 3RACING M2.6 x 0.45 tapping tool is made for builders who need dependable thread form in tight spaces. It creates clean, repeatable threads so small screws engage correctly and assemblies sit flush.

Why It Helps in Assembly

Small screw sizes need precise threads to avoid play and loosening. Using this tap gives consistent results for M2.6 fasteners and helps keep your model running true under load and vibration.

Typical Applications and Advice

Use the tool on common hobby materials such as model plastics and lighter metal parts. Always check thread fit with the intended screw and take your time on initial passes to protect both the tap and the component.

Yes. It can be used manually for delicate work or mounted in a suitable tap holder for more control, depending on the job and accessible space.
If used carefully with steady alignment and light pressure, it will form threads without cracking; practising on a scrap piece is recommended where material wall is thin.
Start straight, back the tap out periodically to clear chips, and use firm but gentle pressure. Clean the hole between passes for the best finish.
